RemProLife aims at improving the use of life-cycle information to achieve more efficient remanufacturing from economic and ecological perpectives.
Remanufacturing is a complex process including uncertainties due to e.g. the variation of quality of the cores arriving to the remanufacturing facility. By using lean principles and information from the product life-cycle these uncertainties can be reduced and a more efficient remanufacturing process achieved. The aim of this project is to develop support methods for implementing lean principles and efficient use of product life-cycle data to enhance the competitiveness of Swedish remanufacturing companies.
The expected results and effects for the participating companies are:
– feed forward from product development, usage and service to remanufacturing,
– feedback from remanufacturing to product development to achieve improved product quality and product designed for remanufacturing, and

Every manufacturing company measure and control production performance with a system of KPIs. The aim of the SMART-PM project is to investigate and demonstrate new ways of collecting data, transforming data to information and introducing new decision tools based on valid information and economic models of the production systems.

With globalization and other megatrends as demographic changes and climate change, more knowledge is needed regarding production in an international perspective. PADOK Study Visit in India 2016 have given an increased knowledge regarding how production is conducted in India, some of the challenges producing companies in that region is facing and how Swedish companies interested in investing in production in India could act to establish themselves in the region.

Tooling constitutes a significant part in the economical investment of the hot stamping process. Significant benefits in production economy and environmental benefits can be attained by improving the tribological performance in hot forming operations of automotive components. The main idea of this project is to create tailored tool surfaces on dies made from cheaper and easier to manufacture tool steel for the hot stamping of ultra-high strength steels.
